Fans and pundits predicted a blown call would decide a critical game when the NFL started the season with replacement officials.

A team spokesman confirmed Winslow’s release shortly after it was first reported by ESPN.com. Winslow was scheduled to make $3.3 million in base salary in 2012, following his trade from Tampa Bay to Seattle in May.
